Importing from Photoshop and Premiere Pro into After Effects



Hi all, hopefully you're ready for break-
 
Adobe After Effects is a powerful and oft underutilized tool in the Adobe arsenal. It allows you to edit video, but it definitely has its own niche not covered by Premiere: it gives you an incredible amount of control over visual effects (green screens, colorizing footage, creating animations. One capability that people don’t normally know that After Effects has is that it acts as a conduit between the various Adobe softwares. It gives you the ability to import from and export to Premiere without having to go through the separate process of rendering a video. Adobe’s dynamic link allows you to edit a clip from Premiere, and it will update the edited clip while you work.

Since After Effects can also import Photoshop files (among others,) this Dynamic link allows you to significantly cut down on workflow time. For example, you could create an overlay in photoshop, and import the overlay and a composition from Premiere into After Effects and edit them in real time in all three programs in real time without having to render.

Best,
Sam
